Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- “World of Warcraft: Cataclysm” is literally a game changer. – Blizzard has the resources to do something like this — and, wisely, they are.
- Penn & Teller cut a woman in half on “America’s Got Talent” – Nicely done.
- Christmas Has Arrived In August At Costco [Christmas Creep] – Ugh.
- Stop-motion Lego tribute to 8-bit video games – Sweet!
- Utah’s Buttars: Gays Don’t Really Experience Discrimination – Sen. Buttars clearly lies through his teeth. It’s not that he doesn’t think gays are discriminated against, it’s that he thinks it’s a fine thing that they are.
- Freedom Federation: Lying Right Out of the Gate – Is anyone actually surprised here?
- Doctor Who Exit Interview: David Tennant + Russell T. Davies, with Richard Metzger (BB Video): Xeni Jardin
- 100 years ago: The Rheims Aviation Week Eugène Lefebvre in his… – A hundred years ago. What will we see in another hundred?
- Betsy McCaughey, ‘Principled’ Conservative? Sounds Like More of a Windsock – Wow. What a … well, “opportunist” is the polite term.
- Randall Terry Takes His Show On The Road – “These are adults acting like children” — from the mouths of babes.
- A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Dishonesty – Steele, by nature of his position, a political hack. But I agree with the writer that we should be trying to “make the GOP defend their position for once.” Because, of course, they have no objective, rational, defensible position except to scream “No!” ever more loudly, like a four-year-old that, for some reason, we keep catering to.
- Atmospheric homes of elves and sprites revealed – environment – 21 August 2008 – New Scientist – I’d love to have “Elf and Sprite Expert” on my business cards.
- Star Trek Re-watch: Season 1 Wrap-Up – An interesting summary — most interesting for assessment of the writers (one of whom had never seen the show) of how fundamentally good TOS S.1 really was.
- 13 Fantastic and Fun Image Generators – Flagging for future reference.
- 27 Fotos!! – For your “I need to smile” moment today.
- Battle of the Insanely Awful Twilight Merchandise – Um … let’s flag this one NSFW … and probably not Not Safe for SAN Checks.
- Clark’s New Matrix Rip-Off Superman Suit Revealed – I keep being more and more glad that I never got into this series.

I have a friend who is a rabid Smallville fan. He insists on telling me the excruciatingly painful plots of the show, probably because he delights in my groans of pain.
